The PAN spokeswoman this Wednesday considered it prudent to postpone the PSP and GNR protests until after the elections, saying that the “just demands” of these professionals “should not be denigrated and discredited.”
“We think the most important thing is that the dialogue should not be interrupted in terms of the fair demands of these professionals. We know that the episode that took place near the Capitol (on the night of the debate between Pedro Nuno Santos and Luis Montenegro) does not do justice to what they demand: the demand for a risk subsidy, but also the right to early retirement.” said Ines Souza Real.
In his opinion, “these are more than fair demands on the part of these professionals, but they should not be tainted by actions that could in one way or another discredit the movement itself or cast doubt on the ongoing negotiations.”
For PAN, “it is critical that work is done in the next legislature to ensure that not only PSP and GNR agents, but also career and volunteer firefighters have access to risk grants and early retirement. the goal of various political forces.”
Therefore, Ines Sousa Real considered it “reasonable” to postpone the national assembly scheduled for March 2, since “in this way there will be no contamination of the negotiation process or the perception of civil society regarding what they demand, namely the most basic justice.”
Regarding the government’s decision to initiate disciplinary proceedings against police officers who participated in the protest at the Capitol, he said that “regardless of how just their demands may be, the facts that led to this demonstration and whether any misconduct occurred Energetic rules and the very rule of law.”
“We cannot forget that citizens trust the police, and this must remain inviolable. And in this sense, we will not interfere in a process that is taking its course and which should proceed autonomously, without any political interference,” he emphasized.
What is “important” for the PAN leader is “not to get lost in the debate surrounding the incident and ensure that these professionals are guaranteed their rights in the next legislature.”
“People are now frustrated, they don’t feel like their work efforts are improving their quality of life, be it in terms of food prices, access to housing or career advancement and wages, and for these professionals, we can’t forget that both the PSP and the GNR and the firefighters take to the streets every day to guarantee the safety of us all,” said Ines Souza Real.
He added that “there is a lot of dissatisfaction, but it should not be channeled into actions that jeopardize the exercise of their own rights and what the very perception of public opinion is in relation to their reason. With reason on their side, they do this.” there is no need for action that would call that into question.”
The PAN leader was speaking at the Campanha Youth Center in Porto, where she went today to highlight the gaps that exist in the country in terms of supporting the health of young people, be it in general or in the case of mental health in particular.
